Former Technical Director of Nigeria Football Federation (NFF),\u00a0 Bitrus Bewarang, has advised parents not to discourage their girls from playing football.
\nHe stated that female football will soon become prominent as the male football, as FIFA and other football governing bodies have shown much interest in promoting female football.
\nBewarang, stated this, on Saturday, at the openimg ceremony of Maureen Mmadu football kiddies camp, in Onitsha,\u00a0\u00a0Anambra State, monitored in Port Harcourt.
\nAccording to him, he is exicted over what coach Mmadu is doing, adding that it gives him joy seeing people giving back to society.
\n\u201c I want to contribute my quota, that is why I am here, in fact I am so happy, my expectations were met, that we still have people who are ready to give back to the society, what society actually made them to be,\u201d Bewarang said.
\nThe former President of Nigeria Coaches Association, urged other coaches and sports personalities to emulate her.
\nHe frowned at some coaches and retired players that stay at home idle.
\n\u201c Basically what I am not happy about is that some coaches when their contract is not renewed instead of them to do grassroots football development, they sit down to gossip other coaches doing their job,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n
